      Yield: 4 servings 
  
      1 lb Roasted peanuts 
    1/4 c  Peanut oil, or to taste 
      1 sm Onion, finely chopped 
      1 ts Cayenne 
      1 ts Salt 
           Oil for frying 
  
  Grind or pound the nuts adding just enough oil to make a smooth paste. 
  With wet hands, squeeze the mixture to remove any excess oil.  Saute 
  the onions, cayenne & salt in a tablespoon of oil until golden. 
  Knead into the nut paste.  Shape into 1" diameter balls adding a few 
  drops of water if necessary to make them hold together.  Drop the 
  balls into hot oil or flatten & fry in a skillet.  Cook for 2 to 3 
  minutes until the outsides are crisp.
